Description Late at night and the
news arrive to my door.
A single letter that states
"You're nothing but a shadow
to a better you".
A lack of words, lack of breath
helped me to look less pathetic
to the eyes of
my beloved ones.

I started to investigate,
had to make sure... had to know.
And then, day after day I started
to understand how I am not
but a distorted reflection of
a better man, someone who lives
a better live, who's loved much more,
and who will surely make it
further into life.

I was terrified, hopeless and alone,
at the other side of a glass that
wouldn't break, wouldn't allow me
to be that man who everyone loves.
And since then I've sat right here
where you see me, a scared
little boy who knows he's the
Saglieri to a Mozart
that doesn't even know he exists.

creo que a ese hombre al que todos aman, no es el verdadero vos (en caso de que estés hablando de vos, no sé si es así, tal vez hiciste un uso de la primera persona para meter al lector mas en el "cuentín")
me parece interesante porque estás describiendo a un niño interno distinto... el niño interno en este caso está asustado y siempre se supone que es divertido y hace "niñadas"

En realidad, es un poco de todo... Es una mezcla de tantas cosas que me pasaban por la cabeza en el momento... aunque SI me enteré de que hay una mejor version de "DoZo" por ahi, mas popular, mas fachero, mas talentoso, etc... partiendo de ese momento, empecé a divagar en la idea... y bueno, terminé con eso
Gustó?

The keyboard is always a good place to vent your frustrations. You can feel the depth of the words when you read this allowed, and I could feel the frustration through them. Hope everything gets better for you and you are happy again.
